I am a teacher and I am always looking for ways to release tension. This retreat space was full of positive energy. The atmosphere was conducive to release of negative energy. I was completely rejuvenated. It was quiet, enjoyable and serene. So much so that when my blood pressure was taken it was normal. I absolutely recommend this place.

Me and my husband really enjoyed being here. We will be back again. I think that this might be our weekend getaway once a year. It was very beautiful. We enjoyed ourselves. Sarah and Adam are very, very sweet. I don’t remember her name, but she was the helper. She was very, very sweet and kind.

Everything about this property was excellent from the easy check in to the checkout. Reina who assisted us with check in was very welcoming and made us feel like VIP. The continental breakfast was good and had a great selection. We will definitely stay here again in the fall.

The Quiet Mind Mountain Lodge was a perfect getaway to unwind. The staff was friendly, we had a beautiful view of Lake Cuyamaca, we enjoyed sitting in the private patio relaxing. The rooms were clean, the AC kept the room nice and cool. Julian is very close nearby, the lodge offers several amenities to unwind. We enjoyed the lodge very much, we’d stay here again, it was very peaceful.

I liked the serenity of the property . However , it’s an older property which is outdated . Found several spiders & bugs . The views are nice from the Lake side . Beds were comfy and recommend the suites. Parking near the facility is limited.

It's a beautiful place front Cuyamaca Lake and 9 miles away from Julian, Indu style, bt maybe need most people attending the different things, and maybe has a pool. There is a jacuzzi but wasn't on service. But if you need stay away from the noise and traffic it's a good place to stay.
